Kirk Acevedo

Kirk Acevedo has turned things around once again, taking a massive pot off Steven Przybl with a cagey check-call on the river after finding a baby flush.

Frank Katana has grabbed hold of the chip lead here in Niagara Falls.

The crafty Canadian manged to turn a {q-}{9-} open into trip queens and bet three streets for value, getting paid off even with a river shove.

Wagging The Dog

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Wagner
Dan Wagner

Respected West Seneca, NY grinder Dan Wagner, who finished runner-up in the 2015 Fallsview Poker Classic $1k this past February for $109,114, just got some much needed help in his hunt for another big score here on this side of the border.

He flopped a pair of queens holding {a-}{q-} versus a player on {a-}{a-} and found a third queen on the river to push up over 500,000 in chips and into a spot among the leaders.
